1) Finney's "new measures", actually all of Finney.

"In asserting salvation by faith we mean this: 1. That pardon (salvation begun) is received by faith producing works. 2. That holiness (salvation continued) is faith working by love. 3. That heaven (salvation finished) is the reward of this faith." -J. Wesley

2) So I'd also add Wesleyan justification.
3) The concept of 'non-denominational'.
4) The concept of interpreting scripture privately in a vacuum.

Okay, so I guess by "unorthodox" we just mean "un-Reformed" stuff?

Meg,

How do these match up with ancient heresies?

Excellent! I thought about that when I mentioned Finney. Was it new or just a rehash of Pelagianism?
